Shah Rukh Khan has backed Netflix Indian original series Bard of Blood which stars Emraan Hashmi in the lead role. The series is based on Bilal Siddiqui’s book of the same name. A few days ago, the trailer of the web series was out which received a great response.

As reported by PTI, in a statement SRK opened up about Bard of Blood and taking Emraan has the lead. Shah Rukh said, “Initially, we were joking about how Emraan’s image is going to turn a serial kisser to a serious kicker. Emraan is a tough guy. Kabir Anand’s character is that of someone who is not in-your-face tough, but has a macho personality and works with his mind plus there is a physical ability of an action hero and I think that mix perfectly fits Emraan.”
